Perhaps, most of sane America must look at the news of the day, the hour, the minute, feeling completely overwhelmed, anxious, and sick and tired, and all we are left with is the old adage, “…and so it goes…”
The Trump War in Iran continues, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent continues to brag about how Americans are spending more money, so that must be a sign of a powerful economy. SNAP benefits and Health Care are being cut, causing more people to prioritize food, housing, and medical care. Once again, Pam Bondi is permitted to use the law as she sees fit, and the Republicans in the House prefer perverts and pedophiles. We are told by the Trump Reich that by not supporting all of Trump’s self-aggrandizing and self-serving theft of billions of dollars for his ego-boosting America at 250 years extravaganza that we are somehow Un-Patriotic! The majority of Trump-backed MAGA candidates win in republican primaries, with those voters overlooking the crime, criminality, and corruption history of those candidates.
Is “frustrating” even a purposeful word to describe our America right this moment? The Republican majority in Congress passes nonsensical bills to keep transgender people from playing sports or using bathrooms. They spend more time away from Washington, D.C., vacating the Congress for fear of even looking like they might piss off Trump. Tech Bros remain not only one of the most powerful forces prioritizing our politics, and they still are free to build mega warehouses that not only pollute our planet but also eagerly attempt to create even more unemployment.
The more the leader of a foreign nation embraces authoritarianism, the more Trump embraces them. We are lied to by the Trump Reich, and day in and day out, we are bombarded by the Trump Reich bullshit that if the facts actually prove how corrupt and evil Trump and his Fascists are, the more those facts are “fake news.”
I will not give in, or give up, but damn, it is becoming harder and harder for me to breathe, and that pain in the pit of my stomach seems to cry out in angst and anguish!
